Aikanaka then asked him : "Speak the word. Open your mouth and speak the word, 

 I am Hstening." Kaehuikiawakea then said: "We have all been slain. There are no 

 men left; all are dead." Aikanaka then asked: "Whose double canoe is it?" "When 

 it was in the sea, we were told that it belonged to Kamalama ; but when it landed, the 

 large bundle which we saw on the canoe turned out to be Kawelo." 



KAIHUPEPENUIAMOUO AND MUNO. 



These two men were warriors belonging to Aikanaka, and they were on the 

 Nounou hill with him. While Kaehuikiawakea was speaking to Aikanaka, Kaihupepe- 

 nuiamouo and Muno stood up and proceeded down the hill with their eight hundred 

 men. Upon their arrival at the bottom of the hill, they were met by Kamalama and 

 his men, and, in a very short time, they were all killed with the exception of Kaehu- 

 ikiawakea, who returned to the top of the hill and again informed Aikanaka of the 

 results, saying, "All the men are slain and I alone am left. That cannot be called 

 a battle ; it is like real fire. Whenever Kamalama throws his spear, it will go through 

 about ten men before it stops." 



WAIvAHEEIKIO AND MOOMOOIKIO. 



While Kaehuikiawakea was relating the outcome of the battle to Aikanaka, 

 these two men stood up and after boasting of what they were going to do to Kama- 

 lama, they proceeded down the hill with their four hundred men. At the bottom of 

 the hill, they were met by Kamalama, Kaeleha and Kalaumeki when the fighting began. 

 These two men, Walaheeikio and Moomooikio, were very powerful men and were very 

 skilful in the use of the spear. They could hit a grass blade, an ant. a fly and even 

 a flea. In this battle their men in a short time were all slain, and the two were left 

 alone. They however continued on the fight with Kamalama. 



In this fight, Kaeleha's hand was struck by a blow from a club and he withdrew, 

 leaving Kamalama and Kalaumeki to continue the conflict. Soon after Kaeleha with- 

 drew Kamalama also withdrew, and in fact, he narrowly escaped being slain by the 

 two men. When Kawelo saw that Kamalama was almost spent and how Kalaumeki 

 bravely continued with the fight, he chanted as follows: 



When Kalaumeki is passed, 



The sea becomes calm, the waves become still, 



The canoes are floating in the line of surf. 



The hill of Kamae is become hid 



By the dust from the feet. 



He is beaten by the sea, 



The great soldier, Kamalama. 



When Kamalama heard this chant by Kawelo, he became very angry and he 

 returned. When Kanewahineikiaoha saw Kamalama returning, she said to Kawelo: 

 "Say, I think your younger brother is angry with you, for there he is coming back." 

 When Kawelo saw this, he chanted as follows:
